Lawyers for Gitmo detainees endorse Obama
What's wrong with lawyers who believe in The United States Constitution?
Amendment 6 - Right to Speedy Trial, Confrontation of Witnesses.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Do you believe all people in prison are guilty? Believe all people being contained unlawfully are guilty?
I don't know about you ... but I get :wtf: when I see legislation passed that allows the government to label you a terrorist and put you "away" without any judicial oversight.
IMHO ... those lawyers are fighting an important cause.
